Namecheap, one of the top web hosting providers today, and the second largest domain registrar, has revealed extensive new findings on the largest TLDs in 2025.
The company’s 2025 Domain Insights and Trends report examines more than 22 million domains and, perhaps unsurprisingly, found that the .com TLD was the most popular, with 4.6 million domain names registered between January 1 and December 31, 2025.
Despite the share of non-.com TLDs overtaking .com in 2024, Namecheap says the latter experienced a resurgence in 2025 to gain 40.1% of the market share, an increase of 11%, showing that even though there are more TLDs than ever before, .com is still the preferred choice.
Top 10 gTLDs
- .com (4,667,345)
- .info (579,916)
- .shop (476,865)
- .site (469,020)
- .xyz (461,777)
- .org (452,567)
- .online (363,353)
- .store (337,407)
- .net (291,862)
- .pro (257,161)
The report also revealed some details about the domain names themselves – including that 147 one-letter domain names were registered, and 120 domain names of 63 characters, the longest allowed.
Blockchain.ai sold for $405,000
On the Namecheap market, Blockchain.ai was the most expensive auctioned, second and third were territory.com at $125,625 and wan.ai at $80,314 respectively.
The trends show that while .com TLDs are still the most sought-after domains, .com TLDs are still becoming more and more popular and helping companies strengthen their brand identity.
